Teacher Appreciation

Grace's class gave a whole class gift to their teacher for teacher appreciation. We used the delightful book, Mrs. Spitzer's Garden by Edith Pattou, as a starting point. Continuing with the gardening theme, I bought a simple terra cotta pot and potted five common herbs. I used a downloadable graphic to make a thank you note and attached it to a craft stick. As I was getting the craft stick I came upon these little people on sticks that I must have purchased thinking they would come in handy sometime. And so they did! A little coloring in and we had two second graders! Aren't they cute?

Very cute....It's funny- I found some small oval tins in the dollar bin at target and I was thinking of using them to make tiny kitchen herb gardens for my daughter's teachers. Love the idea of giving a book with it too!
